Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Private and Official Correspondence of Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, Vol. 3 of 5: During the Period of the Civil War; February 1863 March 1864 But if this is done, and if well and ably managed, it can be carried to success, and I believe will be a fatal blow to the rebels - and if this so appears, as I doubt not it will to the country, one-half at least of these trained men will re-enlist, while others still, will then - as they would not do otherwise -be willing to come forward to fill up our armies. If you, as I feel you did do, still approve of that plan, I know you could carry it through. My case is dragging along most singularly. In the War Department, after trying last July to have the Judge Advocate prepare charges against me, and finding he could not do it, they attempted to deprive me of my General´s rank without any even pretended reason, and to the great surprise of the President when h,e was informed that the Sec. had dismissed me. Then, after refusing me all information whatsoever as to the excuse for this act, through the whole year, and sometimes pretending one reason for it to one friend, and then another reason to another person, the President without referring to the War Department is finally induced to authorize the Judge Advocate General to examine my case expressly, promising to restore me if the report was favorable. And now, though I am satisfied (though from information I cannot use publicly) that that examination has been made and that it required less than one day to establish that I have been right, that I "have been shamefully treated," that the report "strong and earnest" in my favor has been before the President, that he expressed himself "entirely satisfied" and promised "immediate restoration," yet he has still been, resisted up to this time. Though I trust that that malice and falsehood will yet be triumphed over. Should you go on duty soon and wish my services, I have no doubt your demand of them from the President would be assented to, and all my energies will be devoted to aid you in your duties.
